We Are All One

In an earlier post I mentioned the new Netflix series Sense8 (So much for quitting television!). I think the reason I connected with this show so strongly is that it echoes my belief that we are all connected. Some people feel this pull more than others. And in this show there are clusters of eight people from around the world that can move and act as one being. They are each a part of a whole. It's like how some believe we are each a part of God. We are all waves making up the ocean.

I am not a religious person, but I am a spiritual one. I believe there is life beyond the physical plane and each of us is here for a reason, to help each other. I just wish everyone did, so we would end all the fighting in our world.

Like John Lennon sang, "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together."

I am you and you are me. We are each other. I even made buttons so everyone can shout it out loud...er, quietly.

Nudity in Movies

I say movies, but I also mean TV series that are uncensored, thanks to new internet stations. They are still movies to me, just told in episodes.

Tonight my daughter and I discovered a new series called Sense8, which is sort of like Heroes meets The Matrix. It's about a group of people who are psychically linked and can randomly feel each others feelings and hear each other's thoughts. They can even visit and possess each other. It's a mind-blowing series!

And I won't tell you how many episodes we just binge watched.

The point of this post is to mention nudity. There is a bit of nudity in this show, including full-frontal male nudity. None of it is gratuitous, in my opinion. For example, there was a scene where one of the psychic men was swimming naked, stepped out of the pool and was suddenly transported to his female psychic connection's wedding. She saw him and glanced down in shock (before fainting). We all knew what she saw, but the camera showed it. I burst out laughing because it was a hilarious scene, but my daughter just groaned and shouted, "REALLY!!!". She's only fourteen, so that could have something to do with it.

Personally, I am not bothered by nudity, but that's just me. I don't mind it in films, but at the same time I feel like a little mystery is just fine.

How do you feel about nudity in movies and television?
